Microchip offers a wide range of microcontrollers to suit different application requirements. For simple, cost-sensitive applications with basic I/O needs, 8-bit PIC® or AVR® MCUs provide an excellent balance of functionality and affordability. For applications requiring more computational power, such as motor control or digital power conversion, the 16-bit dsPIC® digital signal controllers combine microcontroller control with DSP processing capabilities. For advanced applications with complex processing, connectivity, and user interface requirements, 32-bit PIC32 or SAM families deliver the performance and peripheral integration needed. The new PIC32A family offers a 200 MHz CPU with high-speed analog peripherals for intelligent edge sensing applications. Microchip's architecture allows easy migration across families with minimal code changes, so you can start with an 8-bit device and scale up as your project evolves.
Microchip provides a complete and integrated development ecosystem to support every stage of your design process. The MPLAB® X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) serves as the primary software tool for developing PIC® and dsPIC® applications. For graphical configuration, MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC) offers a free, visual programming environment that generates initialization code and peripheral drivers.
